The C&IC and UWAA are hosting two virtual alumni panels in April as part of our alumni panel series! This event is open to all UW students and alumni, though UWT students/alumni will need to email cicmentor@uw.edu for access:

Career Journeys of Former International Students (4/16, 4-5pm)
Careers in Public Health, co-hosted with the School of Public Health (4/22, 4-5pm)

 
Both panels with start with a moderated discussion and end with open Q&A. 

The Supporting Undergraduate Research Experiences in Environmental Health (SURE-EH) program provides program provides research opportunities to UW undergrads, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, with a meaningful opportunity to work with experienced faculty on a research project addressing the relationship between environmental exposures and human health.
With funds provided by a NIEHS grant, students accepted into the program will work alongside faculty and research staff in the School of Public Health’s Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Science (DEOHS). 

The LEAPS (LEarning And Professional Skills) program is back for Spring Quarter, and this quarter we’ll be focusing primarily on how to prepare for life after graduation by talking about what skills you’ll need in the workforce, how to develop those skills, and the types of opportunities (e.g., jobs, graduate school) you could pursue after graduation.
Here is our schedule for the quarter:
Developing Transferable Skills I: What skills are employers looking for? 

The International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) is seeking to hire an undergraduate or recently graduated intern for Summer 2025 to work at the IPHC Headquarters (HQ) located in Salmon Bay, Seattle, Washington. Apply by April 21.

If you have ever wondered what it is like to participate on a sea-going oceanographic research cruise onboard a global class ship using an underwater robotic vehicle diving to depths of 10,000 ft, please consider applying to the UW VISIONS’25 program. There are no requirements, and the program is open to all UW students no matter what your major is. There will be 2 legs of the cruise onboard the UW 274 ft-long R/V Atlantis, a global class research ship hosting the robotic vehicle Jason. 

In our second profile featuring a Marine Biology postbac student, we spoke with Kylie West about why she chose UW to complete her second undergraduate degree, plus what reinspired her shift back to studying STEM.

Only a small number of postbaccalaureate (postbac) students are admitted to the University of Washington each quarter, however it’s a common enquiry received by us here at Marine Biology. We spoke to Walker Hobson about his journey to becoming a postbac student, some of the benefits and the challenges, and what he would share with others considering the same route.

Finishing up his second quarter at the University of Washington – studying Marine Biology and American Indian Studies (AIS) – is Jaycee Williford. He recently received the Kurt Grinnell Aquaculture Scholarship, which is awarded to Indigenous people interested in pursuing educational opportunities in aquaculture, fisheries science and management or natural resource management.

10 years ago, the UN declared 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. On this 10th anniversary at the University of Washington, we’re celebrating our women in aquatic and marine science: women who are leaders in their fields, women who are aspiring to be the next generation of fisheries scientists and marine biologists, women who are uplifting and supporting other women in science.

Come join Washington Sea Grant’s Crab Team’s annual bonanza to cut, weigh, and bag all 800lb of mackerel to be used across the green crab monitoring network in 2025. It can get a bit messy, but there are various jobs to choose from (some less messy than others), along with good music and even better company. Grab a friend and sign up for the fun!
